Red stitching

I am interested in opinions regarding red stitching on the dash , center console and seats with red seat belts and yellow calipers (ceramics). Does anyone think this might clash?

Sorry, white ext. and black int. I am okay with the red and yellow against their respective backgorunds; it's the yellow and red that concerns me.

I love the deviated stitching and colored belts. I have that in the cgt. Just my opinion but I'd consider yellow stitching and belts to match the calipers. I think yellow on black looks better than red on black.

I agree, the yelow on black does look better. This is a local used car. I like the red on black as a second choice, but with the yellow calipers; it just doesn't seem right some days.

So do they have two for sale, one with yellow stitching and one with red? Sorry, I'm a little slow.

It's fine, it's not like the Yellow is against the Red. It's fine. If the Calipers were huge and predominent then it might be an issue, but it's not, so it will be fine. I wouldn't let it stop me from buying the car if everything else was exactly as I like and priced well.

Yellow stitching would be more unique IMO

I saw a black TT with black interior and red stitching at my local dealer - looked great!

But, I love the yellow stitching on black 10x more - simply looks amazing.

Here are some shots of a GT2 with black / yellow stitching.

I think it looks great...white/black with red is much better than white/black with yellow.

Another alternative is to have the calipers painted red to match the belts/stitching.

One of my favorite colors is red with black wheels and yellow calipers. There's a GT2 like this with black side decals here in Omaha.
